Thanks for liking my recent L’oreal post – always delightful to see a like, and I’m very new to this blogging thing. I just peeked at your blog here. I will be 50 when my son turns 15, just a few years away. I lost my dad a couple of years ago, I was 41. So similar to you. How lovely you had your dad’s journals (I think?). I started reading your other blog too but had to stop as I was reminded of my lovely dad, whom I miss so much still. Will look back later when feeling more resilient and follow along here….

Oh yes, that is very similar! Thanks for following me- this blog is indeed much lighter than my Dad one- I still haven’t brought myself to read all his journals- still can’t decide if it’s Right… Be gentle with yourself- you are never the same after losing your Dad… take care, G

Thanks, he’s an awesome cat- photo taken by professional photographer who happened to be visiting 🙂
Australia is fab- albeit a bit too hot sometimes, esp in the night if you’re doing menopause! Thanks for reading & commenting 🙂

Oh no kidding! I heard Byron Bay is amazing, Gabrielle. I was all over — Sydney, Melbourne, Tazzie, drove across the Outback, Perth, and Adelaide!! I was engaged to be married, and it didn’t work out. I’m now based in LA – at least for now! Looking at what’s next for me. Blessings to you, Gabrielle – be in touch anytime. 🙂 ~Debbie

I’ve recklessly nominated you for an award. Paying forward my own nomination to those that have made me giggle/think/filled my heart. You can ignore it, accept it quietly and graciously, or throw a party and show off 🙂 Either way, tis done and forgive that I’m commenting with these exact same words on my other nominations as I can’t find a better way of putting it! https://thelockwoodecho.com/2017/09/04/blogger-recognition-award/

Thanks Lockwood, I’m honoured. I’ve previously been nominated for a couple of different ones, but I’m not sure I want to join the award party… I totally appreciate the thought and link though, and I’m glad you read along and enjoy me. Every reader counts : ) Thanks again, gabrielle

Hi! I’m currently about to publish my first full-length novel (a happy, fluffy, non-erotic lesbian romance) would you be interested in reading and reviewing it? There is currently no deadline for the review, so you could take all the time you want about reading it!

Awesome! Well, the point of a review is for it to be totally honest! Especially if you don’t like it. People need to see the pros and cons of a story. Reviews would be public, preferably in the shape of a blog post on your blog (if that’s okay with you). If you’d like to give me your email (or contact me on my contact form) I can send you the book straight aways!
